For ultra-smooth wood surfaces. The first time you use a scraper blade, you'll discover why it's a favorite tool of traditional woodworkers.

Our versatile stainless steel scrapers leave wood surfaces ultra-smooth. They're also the best tools for smoothing plastic bindings, because they don't heat, soften or scratch the material the way sandpaper can. Occasional squaring and burnishing of the edges keeps them sharp and efficient (the Scraper Burnisher makes it easy). These scrapers are available with convex, straight and concave edges, for smoothing and fine-contouring wood surfaces on practically any instrument.

Mini scrapers are for smoothing smaller areas with finer control. Among their many uses, the concave/convex version is handy for acoustic guitar bridge contouring, and the oval scraper makes quick work of spot-leveling drop-fill finish repairs. The rectangular version has rounded 1/8" and 3/32" notches for fast and easy acoustic bridge saddle crowning (a bonus inspired by an idea from Freddie Cisneros). Supplied unburnished.

Scraper Blades

Scrapers are very useful for working and preparing wood. They leave a much finer finish in much less time. Unfortunately they are not easy to use and much less sharpening. It took me quite some time to put them to good use and still is difficult to put them in good condition, especially the curved parts.

Mini scrapers with attitude

I really like the mini scraper set, the shapes and sizes are very useful, and the saddle notches on the square one are brilliant, way nicer than wrestling with a utility blade. Recommended for your scraper arsenal!
